Commerce (Y10)

10COM is a course that explores the world of Commerce, and how it impacts our everyday lives here in Aotearoa. The course has four main topics. First is Consumer Studies, which explores the laws that apply when you buy a good or service, and what rights you have. Second is Accounting, which explores what different business structures you can have, and how to keep track of your finances. Third is Economics, which looks at how events impact different sectors of the economy, including us as households. Finally, we have Business Studies, which looks at how marketing works to get a consumer to buy a product. All of these topics also give you a taste of what is coming up later in Senior Commerce subjects.
